Chapter 229:
Monica casually asked, “Who’s that girl in the white p>
Bella, ever eager to speak up, replied with a quick smile, “That’s my sister. We only just reconnected. There was a mix-up at her birth, and she was raised by another family before p>
Monica raised an eyebrow, absorbing the information. “Really? What’s got her so worked up p>
Bella glanced toward Yelena and offered a half-apology. “I’m sorry you had to witness this. Her previous family wasn’t the best, so her behavior can be a little… less presentable sometimes. I hope you can understand p>
Monica couldn’t suppress a smug grin. So, this was the real Yelena. She wondered if Austin had any idea about Yelena’s true character. She had once thought Yelena might be a worthy opponent, but now it seemed there was no real threat. Yelena? Hardly worth worrying about. A wave of relief washed over Monica.
But then, as she took in Yelena’s striking beauty, a thought crossed her mind—perhaps Yelena possessed a charm that drew Austin in. After all, what else could explain his fascination with her? It seemed that meeting Yelena face-to-face might still be necessary after all. With that thought, Monica made her way toward the duo, and naturally, everyone in her circle followed her lead.
When Amanda spotted Sonya, she remembered her mother’s instructions and called out, “Sonya, you’re here. What’s going on p>
Sonya’s face brightened when she saw Amanda, recalling their previous encounter. “Amanda, I think she snuck in without an invite,” Sonya said, pointing at Yelena.
Amanda hesitated for a moment before replying, “It’s probably a misunderstanding. Yelena’s the daughter of the Harris family, and she has an invitation p>
At this, Sonya’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed, “What? The Harris family daughter? I thought she came from a poor family in Phurg p>

Hearing Amanda’s words, Sonya was taken aback, her mind reeling. It all seemed too absurd to be true—how could this be?
Wasn’t Yelena from a poor, struggling village in Phurg? How on earth could she be the daughter of the Harris family in Eighfast?
There had to be some sort of mistake.
Yelena, caught off guard by the sudden revelation of her identity, kept her composure. She hadn’t expected the truth to come out so quickly, but she wasn’t worried. After all, she had ways of handling situations like this.
Bella, equally confused, blinked in disbelief.
Who was this woman, and how did she know Yelena? And why did she seem so certain that Yelena was from a poor family?
“Miss, you must be mistaken. My sister is the eldest daughter of the Harris family and only recently returned to claim her place,” Bella said, her tone a mix of concern and curiosity as she attempted to clear up the confusion.
“Oh, really?” Sonya responded, her voice laced with doubt. “You might want to double-check that. Yelena isn’t as simple as she seems. She has more secrets than you’d ever imagine. Just be careful—you could be falling for some sort of trick p>
Sonya still struggled to believe that Yelena could be anything more than a small-town girl. The idea that she was tied to the prestigious Harris family seemed almost laughable.
